A left side stroke and you wake up swinging for the fence, to beat the stroke. Right side and you really don't care what happens. My stroke was left side, and I was mad as hell and beat it. My fall is right side, and it's sit and watch the sparrows; the world will wait. I thought I would kick this thing in a couple of weeks. Wrong.

I know it's hard to leave a previous garden which you put so much effort into over the years. what about a trip to a public garden I love visiting nurseries and public gardens and always come back refreshed, take it easy and enjoy yourself, you deserve to sit back and smell the roses; yes men and their tractors, you can't keep them off of anything that has an engine.

My husband had Alzheimer's, but during this, he had a stroke from which he recovered fairly early. Then they put a stent in to prevent another stroke. Perhaps they put it in too early. He had a reperfusion brain injury during the surgery. It took months and months to heal, but it did. He recovered, even though he still had the Alzheimers. The doctor was surprised at how much he recovered. But it took time. I think sitting outside smiling at sparrows sounds very healing.
